Imagine a player that's essentially Yu Darvish when he comes out to pitch every fifth day but instead of not playing the other four days, he plays DH and on those days he's Hideki Matsui in his prime.
I think AL teams have the inside track on him. He's just more valuable to AL teams because of the DH rule. In Japan, he wouldn't play outfield the day before he pitched so because NL teams wouldn't be able to use him quite as much, they probably won't be justified to pay him as much as an AL team.
He'll probably to the Yankees is my guess since it'll come down to dollars.
